Today we have the first official image of the 47th Super Sentai series- Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger!

The King-Ongher Sentai is a team of five- Red, Blue, Yellow, Black and PURPLE-in a first for Super Sentai main teams.

King-Ohger is described in early promotional materials as “A theme of Insects & Mechanics & Fantasy- Insect Warriors with kingly temperament!” The insect theme is detailed with each Ranger seen-

*Red is KuwagaOhger a stag beetle
*Blue is TonboOhger a dragonfly
*Yellow is KamiririOhger a mantis
*Purple is PapillionOhger a butterfly
*Black is HachiOhger a wasp

The insect theme also carries through to the Mecha, seen in the background. Based on preliminary toy listings we will have MULTIPLE add-on Mecha for this season-including a rumored TEN PIECE combo for the first quarter alone.

Ohsama Senta King-Ohger begins in March 2023! Stay tuned to TokuNation for this exciting new chapter in Super Sentai history!

Today Shout! Factory has officially announced the release of a fan-favorite Super Sentai series.  Coming Valentine’s Day 2023 is none other than Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger.  This release answers two questions for fans – whether Dekaranger was getting subtitled and released, as well as whether or not the Super Sentai releases from Shout! Factory would continue.

The answer is they are continuing.

Shout! Factory and eOne have partnered for this special release on 8 DVDs.  Pre-order the series via Shout! Factory today!  Press release follows.

under Power Rangers

The face of the Power Rangers franchise – Jason David Frank – has died.  He was 49 years old.

For thirty years, Jason David Frank has celebrated Power Rangers with fans all over the world.  First appearing in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as the evil Green Ranger in 1993, his character “Tommy” would leave and return as the White Ranger, become the Red Ranger in Power Rangers Zeo and Power Rangers Turbo, and star in two feature films (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie and Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie).  Eleven years after his first appearance, Jason David Frank would return as the Black Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Thunder, giving the Power Rangers television franchise a much-needed boost during it’s second season under Disney Entertainment.

Jason David Frank would return twice more – once in the “Legendary Battle” episode of Power Rangers Super Megaforce, and again for the 25th anniversary episode “Dimensions in Danger” during Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel.  He also brought the evil comic book character Lord Drakkon to light in a short trailer for the BOOM! Studios Power Rangers Shattered Grid comic book event during the 25th anniversary.

At every single convention that Jason David Frank attended there would be massive lines to get pictures and autographs with, arguably, the most famous and popular Power Ranger.  Jason David Frank would make it a point to stay until the last fan in line got what they got in line for – whether it was an autograph, a picture, or just to say hello.

Jason David Frank had been working on and promoting the upcoming release of his creator-owned character via movie, Legend of the White Dragon, created with popular independent film maker Bat in the Sun (famous for “Super Hero Beat Down” YouTube shorts).  The film was set to release online in 2023.

He wasn’t perfect – nobody is – but for an entire generation of kids he was their hero. Our thoughts are with his family & friends in this difficult time.

Rest in Peace, Jason David Frank.  1973-2022

Today begins the Tamashii Nations 2022 Event where a ton of new and potentially new product is displayed for the public.  Not every single item displayed is guaranteed to be released unless notated via information cards or via Tamashii Nations itself.  We will do our best to detail if the figure(s) shown are set to release in the future.

Kamen Rider Geats had full representation on display with an impressive lineup of S.H. Figuarts to show off!  The following figures were shown:

  • Kamen Rider Geats Magnum Boost Form (February 2023, 4??? yen)
  • Kamen Rider Geats Entry Raise Form (March 2023, 5500 yen)
  • Kamen Rider Geats Boost Magnum Form (display)

Also shown were different combinations of characters you can create when you’ve purchased the figures.  The figures will be able to separate at the waist as well as have specific pieces of armor come off so you can create all the various forms from the show.  How this translates to overall figure quality has yet to be seen.
